Overview

Steam as a platform is well positioned to provide entertainment beyond games to our customers. With this in mind, Steam has developed a video platform based on the MPEG-DASH Standard to allow delivery of both short- and long-form content to customers. We are inviting all Steam partners who have appropriate video content to use the Steam Video platform.

Platform Features

Cross-platform support for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Steam OS and Steam Link in both Desktop and Big Picture

Instantly watch video content without first downloading any files

Native integration into the Steam Client

No custom flash-wrapper application development required

Adaptive Streaming automatically adjusts playback quality based on available bandwidth

Getting Started

Create a new video or video series app by using the Create New App... button after logging in to Steamworks. You'll need to be an administrator in the partner to do this. If you don't see the button or don't have any app credits, submit a request using the Steam Support Form to have a Video App credit added to your partner.

Steam does not require both Stereo and Surround unless the mixes are markedly different.

When preparing alternate audio tracks (audio dubs, commentary tracks, etc.) the audio running time must be the same running time as the source video file.

The language of the audio will be used to determine if an audio dub or subtitles should be automatically enabled. The language can be set on the Video Management page after the video has been ingested.

Subtitle and Caption files are uploaded directly into the Video Management section of your video app after the video file has been ingested successfully.

Captions for the deaf or hard-of-hearing (SDH/CC) and Subtitles for languages are supported for all languages.

Captions and subtitles must be uploaded in the WebVTT format. For format conversion tools, please see the Video Preparation Tools section for the program Subtitle Edit.

WebVTT cue settings and {\an1-9} alignment options are supported. WebVTT Voices and Regions are not currently supported.

Please ensure captions are time aligned for the video file being delivered. No commercial breaks and please use media time.

We often find videos encoded at 23.976 fps have subtitles that are encoded at 24 fps and those subtitles will drift out of time over the course of playback. While other video platforms may correct these for you, Steam won't. Please ensure your subtitles are created at the same frame rate as your video itself.
